Wife: 'You're famous. You're Armin Wand who killed his children'
Armin Wand III is sentenced to three life sentences in prison without eligibility for parole for starting a fire last September that killed his three children, ages 3, 5 and 7, as well as his unborn child.
Wand was also sentenced by Lafayette County Judge Thomas J. Vale to 40 years in prison and 20 years on supervision for the attempted homicide of Sharon Wand Wednesday in Lafayette County Court. He was also given the maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and 15 years of extended supervision each for arson and felony murder.
His wife, Sharon Wand, and their 2-year-old daughter survived the fire.
Armin Wand declined to speak at his sentencing.
Wand pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of first-degree attempted homicide, one felony murder through arson of a building and one count of arson of a building. Prosecutors dropped two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
Sharon Wand was pregnant at the time of the fire. The charge of felony murder was for the death of her unborn child.
Sharon Wand was in the courtroom during Wednesday's sentencing. A statement was read on her behalf, including a recounting of the life of her three children. The statement describes abuse, verbal and physical violence at the hand of Armin Wand.
Sharon's statement said that she named her unborn child Dorothy Marie. She said her daughter has not yet realized that her brothers are gone forever. To Armin, the statement read: "I will not let you beat me."
"You killed innocent children who loved and trusted you," the statement read. "You have done the worst thing you can do to a mother; take her children."
"You got what you want. You're famous. You're Armin Wand who killed his children."VIDEO: Wife: 'You're famous. You're Armin Wand who killed his children'
Assistant District Attorney Roy Korte said Armin was unhappy that Sharon was pregnant and threatened to kill her and the unborn baby.
Korte said Wand's personal issues, individually or combined, did not give him reason to do what he did. He said Wand still hasn't shown remorse.
Armin Wand's defense said any sentence will be long enough because Wand will be a senior citizen when and if he's ever released. The defense said Wand lacks the ability to plan and think abstractly in day-to-day life.
Two attempted homicide charges were dismissed as part of Armin's plea deal. As part of the deal, Armin will testify against his brother, Jeremy Wand.
Prosecutors said Jeremy Wand, Armin's brother, conspired with his Armin Wand on setting the fatal fire for the promise of $300.

PARIS (AFP) – A glamour ceremony to be held in Nyon, Switzerland on Thursday will unveil the much anticipated pairings for the knockout phase of the Champions League, as the 16 remaining teams continue their quest to reach the May 25 final at Wembley.
A fresh champion will lift one of the most recognisable trophies in the game after holders Chelsea suffered the humiliation of becoming the first defending champions to exit following the group phase.
Perennial favourites Barcelona go into the hat for next February's matches, as the team everyone wants to avoid, although fellow pool winners Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Malaga, Juventus, Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich are all guaranteed to avoid the four-time champions as seeded teams.
Real Madrid who won the last of their nine European Cups in 2002, are the pick of the second-placed group teams although along with Valencia, they cannot face their Catalan arch-rivals as teams from the same country cannot face each other until the quarter-finals.
Celtic who became the first British team to win the trophy back in 1967 when they beat Inter Milan, are the only other side from the runners-up that include Porto, Galatasaray, Shakhtar Donetsk, AC Milan and Arsenal, who are certain to avoid Tito Vilanova's team.
Paris Saint-Germain who make their first appearance in the knockout stages since 1995, had the best record in the group round as two-time champion Carlo Ancelotti guided the mega-rich capital outfit to five wins and one defeat – 1-0 against Porto. Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho who guided Porto and Inter Milan to unexpected crowns in 2004 and 2010 respectively, prophesised that 1997 champions Dortmund can go all the way under Juergen Klopp, after pipping his team to top spot and finishing undefeated.
Bayern Munich are off to a blistering start in the Bundesliga where they are runaway leaders and are back on track to win their first Champions League since beating Valencia in 2001.
Their opponents will come from a group that include Real Madrid, Celtic, Porto, Shakhtar or Arsenal.
Manchester United who won the first of their three European Cups in 1968 when Bobby Charton and George Best were on target in the 4-1 win over Benfica at Wembley are another team to avoid.
Although they went out in the group phase last season, manager Alex Ferguson has again tweaked the Old Trafford juggernaut with the inspired signing of Robin van Persie who has already combined with Wayne Rooney for 19 domestic goals, including his league leading 12.
The same cannot be said of Arsenal who came closest to becoming continental champions in 2006, when they lost 2-1 against Barcelona, but the poor league form of Arsene Wenger's men in December will count for nothing in a two-legged knockout round, two months down the road.
Juventus took four points off Chelsea including a 3-0 home thrashing and a 49-game unbeaten run in Serie A speaks for itself as the Serie A champions bid for their third title after wins in 1985 and 1996.
Schalke were the biggest surprise as group winners, but a run of just two points from 18 in Bundesliga action cost Dutchman Huub Stevens his job and the coaching duties now lie with former Stuttgart handler Jens Keller.
Another group winner to look out for is Malaga who are in the competition for the first time in club history thanks to some inspired leadership from Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini.
The cash rich Costa del Sol outfit finished well clear of AC Milan to set them up nicely for Thursday's draw.

UnNews:YouTube changes aspect ratio to 2.35:1, users pissed
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
28 November 2008
Youtube City, Google -- Users of the wildly popular video-hosting website YouTube were outraged and sodomized repeatedly when the site posted a shcmuck announcing their change of aspect ratio to the cinematic 2.35:1 used for such films as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Transformers, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Spaceballs pootie tang clan, and Ben-Hur, among many others. They were happy to finally be able to watch copyright-infringing videos of their favorite wide movies without dealing with those "annoying" bars, but they ran into problems with their videos in other aspect ratios, particularly 4:3, which used to be the industry standard as well as YouTube's standard.
YouTube posted this blog on Monday:
"Today we're excited to announce a bigger YouTube player. Way bigger. We're expanding the width of the page to 720 pixels to better reflect the quality of the videos you create and the screens that you use to watch them. This new, wider player is in a widescreen aspect ratio designed for watching bootlegs of your favorite films such as Ace Ventura, The Pink Panther, Halloween, Planet of the Apes, Poltergeist, T2, and others. Unfortunately, your 4:3 and 16:9 videos will look fucked up."
"The movie's too big, I can't see it!"
The blog received a massive amount of negative feedback. People already annoyed by bars and letterboxing, blasted YouTube's decision, calling it "the worst de-evolution of YouTube since the Rickroll phenomenon."
"I hate this"
1980s hitmaker Huey Lewis has gone on record about how godawful this change is, even going as far as to re-write his 1986 smash "Hip to Be Square" to make it about widescreen formats, and release it as a single. It has so far reached number #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #85 on iTunes.
Even widescreen enthusiasts -- who often refuse to watch a film outside of its original aspect ratio -- criticized the video-sharing service, requesting that videos play in their intended aspect ratios (without the humuliating ordeal of pillarboxing or windowboxing), and making any wide players optional.
"I would not, could not, in a box"
"Isn't there anything on that isn't about boxes?!!"
However, a few film enthusiasts such as film critics Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper, Leonard Maltin, the late Heath Ledger, the late John Candy, Academy Award Winner Jon Voight, and the late Orson Welles have voiced their support to the wider aspect ratio.
Voight had this to say:
"With the upcoming SAG strike -- not that it matters, because I resigned from that bastard union -- I feel it is important for people to be able to enjoy copyright-infringing videos on YouTube in the aspect ratios that the directors had intended from Day One. If you think those horizontal bars are annoying, then you are a snub with no taste in quality films, for it is only the vertical bars that are annoying. Many more years to YouTube and their 2.35:1 aspect ratio player."
N00bs who are used to letterboxing blasted YouTube for their lack of bars on 2.35:1 videos:
"Hey, where'd the bars go?"
"I love this bar"
"When I watched Transformers on DVD last night, it had those bars. When I went to watch the first five minutes of it on YouTube (before it got deleted), there were no bars."
"Youtube first removed Porn and Anime. Now They Do this!? Make the Screen alot bigger!? Man Fuck Youtube."
YouTube had been using the 4:3 aspect ratio -- the same used for early films and standard-definition television -- ever since it launched in 2005. Ironically, Huey Lewis has signed a deal with YouTube and HDTV manufacturers to sponsor his World Tour and to promote his newly-rewritten single.

Beefsteak Tomatoes are big, juicy, meaty, and heavy; some weigh as much as four pounds. They have a classic tomato flavour and can range in color from pink to vibrant red to orange, depending on the variety.
Consumer Tips For Tomato Care
Never store tomatoes in the refrigerator. Storing tomatoes in the refrigerator can ruin their texture and flavour.
Leave tomatoes on-the-vine intact until just before use. This helps maintain their freshness and allows them to fully ripen.
Wash produce right before eating. All produce should always be washed, but it is important to not to wash produce too early. As moisture sits on the produce it can cause decay.
Select tomatoes that are round, full, feel heavy for their size, and that are free from bruises and blemishes. The skin should be taut and not shrivelled.
Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has been clinically proven to reduce the harmful effects of UV rays as well as reducing the risk of some cancers.
Tomatoes are also an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, dietary fibre, folate, magnesium and potassium.
Troubleshooting Tips for Retail Care
Tomatoes around room temperature; ideally around 60°– 65°F or 15.6-18.3°C with optimum humidity of 85– 90%. Tomatoes have a storage life of 7–10 days. Tomatoes are ethylene sensitive.
Tomatoes should not be misted as moisture accumulation can promote decay. To avoid this, store containers off the floor to prevent dampness and maintain moderate air circulation.
Don't stack tomatoes. Dumping or stacking tomatoes in bins can cause them to bruise and spoil quickly. To promote shelf life, handle tomatoes with care. A single layer of tomatoes is the best option.
Uneven Colour Development
This is an indication of exposure to high temperatures.
Softening or Failure to Ripen
This is an indication of chill injury. Leave TOVs on their vine. TOVs continue to ripen as long as they are still attached to the vine.

'some' of the issues with the Abbado DG recently touched-on by Jerry Kohl ..Claudio Abbado? In his notorious DG recording, Abbado has the guitarist perform the cadenza with his amplifier *off*. Now, .. an *electric* guitar without amplification sounds like rubber bands stretched over a cigar box. Was anybody paying any attention to the dynamics at all? How many other instruments were substituted or just left out (e.g., the African slit drums, pitched tomtoms and tuned cowbells, 5-octave marimbaphone)? Abbado, who replaced the (pitched) African slit drums with unpitched woodblocks (sounding some three octaves higher than the log drums), and the tuned tomtoms with untuned low drums plus a pair of bongos. ... in Abbado's case, dynamics have been disregarded entirely.
17.35Stockhausen: Solo for melody instrument with feedback(special electro-acoustic apparatus, 4 assistants /4 x 2 loudsp., mixing console / sound proj.)Stockhausen's Solo has a fundamentally different character from the three works for trombone already mentioned, although the technical means so far described can also be applied to this piece. Following strictly prescribed musical material and rules of composition, the soloist produces one of six possible versions of Solo, which he adapts to the nature of his instrument as well to his personal interpretative capacities. Playing into a microphone, his performance is recorded, and via a "playback" system the recorded material returns through loudspeakers, after a time lag, superimposed, transformed and where necessary distorted. Still playing the soloist has to react in various ways to the material when it reappears. (He must either make chords or blocks with the material he hears or play contrapuntally with it.) The strong impression of tension which is provoked by the procedure of the soloist reacting to himself is obviously lost on a grammophone record. For this reason, as well as to remedy the lack of the atmosphere created by the audience at a live performance, Stockhausen had the idea of providing a commentary on the recording of Solo; this we made together, utilising to this end the second Region of his work Hymnen. In the performance of Hymnen five musicians provide a commentary on the tape reproduced through the loud-speakers. In the present version of Solo the roles are reversed: the soloist's playing is commented on with the help of a tape. - Vinko GlobokarThe games that Vinko Globokar's musicians playTORONTO — From Thursday's Globe and MailPublished Wednesday, Dec. 07, 2011 5:00PM EST[...]He is, in a way, a maker of games for musicians, though he seldom relaxes the rules to allow extended improvisation, which appears in only three or four of his roughly 120 pieces. Improv only works when people really know how to do it, he says, and even then, it's more fun to impose rules that challenge their performance habits. The improvised part of Friday's double-bill program at the Music Gallery, in which Globokar will play, won't sound like anything heard at a jazz club.He remains a determined modernist – and a lonely one. The performing groups he formed in the late sixties disbanded long ago; colleagues such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mauricio Kagel, Gyorgy Ligeti and his former teacher Luciano Berio, are dead. Postmodernism, or "the reinvention of Mahler," as he calls it, holds no attraction for him."I was part of a group of friends, an avant-garde that was based on risk," he says. "The idea, collectively, was to find something new. But even if you didn't find this end result, it was still okay, because you were exploring ideas. That kind of collective thinking we did has disappeared."Now, he has to do the collective thinking by himself, and write it down for other people to discover and inhabit. It's an adventure worth sharing.[...]

I've decided I can't possibly buy Oblivion for the PC, because the time vortex is just too great with that game. I love video games too much to let myself get started with them. My greatest periods of productivity (and periods of more Hypnos CD releases coming out) have been when I've abstained from video games!
Good thing that game is "free" if it takes $140 of imaginary doo-dads to make it fun to play.I'm afraid to try MMORPGs in case I enjoy them too much and ruin my life. Same reason I avoid trying heroin.

Canadian fertility doctors are calling for tighter controls on the use of super-ovulation fertility drugs that in some cases are being used merely to make women pregnant faster.
The drugs, a class known as gonadotropins, stimulate a woman's ovaries to produce multiple eggs for fertilization. But they also carry a high risk of multiple births, as well as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, where the ovaries keep expanding, growing so fat and swollen they can twist from the sheer weight and leak fluid into the pelvis and abdomen. In rare cases, the syndrome can lead to blood clots, kidney failure, heart failure and death.
Gonadotropins are often used in combination with artificial insemination, or IUI, where sperm is inserted directly into the womb. The appeal for couples is that it costs thousands of dollars less per cycle than in vitro fertilization, which involves retrieving eggs from the woman, mixing them with sperm and transferring the resulting embryos back into the uterus.
Both procedures use the same hormonal drugs. But there is less control when the drugs are used outside IVF.
A woman normally produces one egg per month. With gonadotropins, women can produce three, four or more eggs. The risk of having a multiple birth — twins or more — can be as high as 20 per cent, and it's highest in younger women, who have a greater "ovarian reserve," meaning more egg follicles, than older women.
"If you're doing it in someone who is under 35, or under 30, and their fertility is higher, then you're asking for trouble," says Dr. Anthony Cheung, medical director of the Grace Fertility Centre in Vancouver. "That person or that couple may not need it."
"But some people may think, 'maybe we should accelerate it (pregnancy).' In my mind, those people should not be doing it, because if someone is relatively fertile, if you use these injections uncritically, you're going to get unexpected results."
In one woman out of 100, the ovaries "take off," producing, in extreme cases, as many as 20 or 30 eggs, says Dr. Sony Sierra, co-chair, with Cheung, of the reproductive endocrinology and infertility committee of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada.
Gonadotropins have to be injected daily into the belly or thighs for 10 to 12 days. The shots are far more potent than Clomid, or clomiphene citrate, older oral ovulation pills that stimulate the ovaries in a more gentle way. But gonadotropins come with higher pregnancy rates — and their use has "proliferated," doctors say.
From his personal observations, "They're fairly commonly used, and very quickly used, by some individuals for any infertility reason other than blocked (fallopian) tubes," said Dr. Matt Gysler, president of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society.
"But there are risks, and some terrible tragedies have happened," Gysler said. In well-trained hands, many of those risks can be minimized or avoided altogether, he said. "Serious complications, when used by people who have been trained in this area, are exceeding rare." However, unlike England, there are no restrictions in Canada on who can use gonadotropins, he said.
Frequent blood tests and ultrasounds are needed to measure the number and size of the egg containing follicles. If the woman is producing too many eggs, the cycle is cancelled. "If you get really a large number, and the patient has been appropriately counselled and pre-treated, we convert it to IVF," Gysler said. The eggs are removed, the best ones fertilized in the lab and the resulting embryo transferred back. "There are options, what I call off-ramps to the treatment," he said.
But it's an option that's available only in clinics that can offer an emergency conversion to IVF.
"When we use gonadotropins in a fertility clinic, where we have the ability to do blood work and ultrasound, we can monitor and adjust their daily doses to control how the women are responding and work towards getting a 'one-egg only' response," said Sierra, a specialist in infertility and recurrent miscarriage at Lifequest Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Toronto.
But, "if you're using gonadotropins in the community (outside IVF clinics) and you don't have the ability to monitor them, you don't know how many eggs you've produced."
Women will try to time intercourse by counting where they are in their menstrual cycle, or by using over-the-counter ovulation predictor kits, without knowing how many eggs have been released.
Sierra has been counselling patients away from using gonadotropins with insemination and towards IVF instead because of the lower risk of multiples and higher pregnancy rates.
Gonadotropins "are not cheap medications," she added. A single cycle with insemination can cost $2,500 or more.
Canada's multiple birth rates are among the highest in the world, rising from 1.8 per cent of all births in 1981, to three percent in 2009 — an increase almost entirely driven by the introduction and spread of assisted baby-making technologies.
Regulatory authorities in the UK and Europe have made it mandatory for doctors to report IUI; Belgium has introduced legislation that requires all ovarian stimulations to be registered. But, in Canada, virtually no data is being collected on the use of gonadotropins in non-IVF cycles or outside fertility clinics.
Some experts have suggested making gonadotropin prescription reporting mandatory, the same way Ontario and other provinces are now tracking prescriptions for opioid painkillers.

Build a better credit score
If you have a thin credit file or a poor credit history, a secured credit card can be an excellent way to beef up your credit score.
Unlike a credit card, where lenders give you money to use and then ask you to pay it back each month, a secured card works the opposite way. With a secured card, you have to put down a deposit with your own money. When you give the bank your deposit, they'll issue you a line of credit that will most likely be equal to the amount you deposited. Sometimes, however, your secured card limit may be a bit higher than your deposit. Think of that deposit as collateral. If you stop making payments on your card, the bank will simply keep your deposit.
But the key is that every time you make a payment on the card, the bank will report it on your credit reports. And over time, your credit score will improve.
Your goal with the secured card is to demonstrate how responsible you can be. This will in turn improve your credit score. You should focus on (1) keeping your credit utilization low and (2) making full, on-time payments each month. Those two factors alone make up 60 percent of your credit score.
- Use the secured card. If you don't use the card, it won't improve your score by much. Charge a small amount to the card each month and pay it off in full. Aim to carry a balance that is no more than 20 percent of your available credit limit. That keeps your utilization low and will in turn help your score.
- Pay your balance in full each month. You can make sure you do this by signing up for automatic monthly payments. This also helps you avoid accruing interest by carrying a balance each month.
- Sign up for a credit monitoring service such as Credit Karma, Discover's credit scorecard, or another service that lets you check your report monthly, for free. You can also get a free annual credit report from all three bureaus at AnnualCreditReport.com.
- Check your credit report monthly to make sure the bank is reporting your secured card behavior to the credit bureaus. If the bank doesn't report your behavior to the bureaus, you're missing out on the main benefit of having a secured card.
No matter what your reason for using a secured card, you should understand that the credit-building process will be slow. It may take a year or longer to lift your score by 100 points.
The secured card you choose will ultimately depend on a personal assessment of your fiscal habits and a careful review of the card's terms. Your best bet will be to look for a card with no annual fee, a low minimum deposit, and the lowest annual percentage rate (APR).
Some great ways to shop around for secured card offers are by using tools like this one from MagnifyMoney or NerdWallet's comparison tool.
Here are key factors to consider before you choose a secured card:
The interest rate. Choose the card with the lowest rate possible. Secured cards usually have higher interest rates than regular credit cards. For example, you'd pay about 23.24% APR on the Discover it Secured Card and 22.24% on the Citi Secured MasterCard compared to 15% on average for regular credit cards.
The deposit amount. Find out how much you have to put down to get the limit that you want. Sometimes the deposit is only a fraction of the card's credit limit. If you get a card with a limit that is higher than your deposit, have a heart-to-heart with yourself to be certain that you can manage the limit responsibly.
You'd also want to know how long the bank will keep your deposit after you close the secured card as it might not give it back to you right away. Some banks will keep the deposit to cover any charges to the card for a couple of months after you close the account.
Fees and charges. Like credit cards, secured cards can also come loaded with hidden fees and other charges. These can eat away at your security deposit and your card limit if you're not careful. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has a great example of a credit card agreement that highlights what you should look out for. A couple of the most important items to check are if the card has an annual fee and if it has a period after which the interest rate you're paying will increase.
Perks. Most secured credit cards don't offer any rewards, but a few, like the Discover it secured card, let you earn rewards for your purchases. The Discover it card also gives you cash back on certain purchases. You shouldn't focus solely on the perks when choosing a card, but they are nice to have.
MagnifyMoney is a price comparison and financial education website, founded by former bankers who use their knowledge of how the system works to help you save money.

Over the weekend, Brian Burke was busy making roster moves.
The Calgary Flames general manager put defenceman Shane O'Brien on waivers and, after the 24-hour window closed, he was sent to the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League. And, the coming other way, packing his bags on Sunday afternoon and arriving from the Lower Mainland was Chris Breen.
"We need to see what (Breen) can do," Burke said. "Not that the organization had let him down somehow. But through injuries and other factors, we don't know what he can do. (That was) the plan, even before Christmas time . . . that's really all there is to it."
Burke, who was in Toronto over the weekend, had watched the Flames fall behind 4-2 at one point during the Eric Nystrom show against the Nashville Predators and eventually come back to win 5-4 in a shootout.
The acting general manager was being diplomatic on Sunday but it's easy to read between the lines on his thoughts of the veteran blueliner.
O'Brien, a 10-year professional, finished Friday's 5-4 shootout win a minus-three in 5:37 of ice time paired with Dennis Wideman. His stall was empty and cleared out Saturday morning.
The 30-year-old who has played with the Anaheim Ducks, Tampa Bay Lightning, Vancouver Canucks, Predators, and Colorado Avalanche, had been part of former general manager Jay Feaster's deal that sent defenceman Cory Sarich and forward Alex Tanguay to Colorado along with winger David Jones. O'Brien had played 45 games with the Flames, recorded three assists and was a minus-eight with 58 penalty minutes.
He currently has another season left on his $2-million contract — which will be Burke's first order of business when he returns to Calgary on Monday.
"Shane cleared (Sunday) and we thought someone might grab him because he's a good player," Burke said. "Obviously the extra year of his contract is the killer, so now we'll see if we can structure a trade (in the new CBA you can retain salary deals) and we'll see if there's a team that would take him if we aren't part of the obligations . . . that will be the first order of the day — to see if we can structure a deal for him.
"We can always call him back. He's not being exiled. But we're looking to upgrade at any position in terms of skill or size. So, am I satisfied with this group? I'm satisfied with their effort."
On that topic, Burke expanded.
"There are two important building blocks that Bob (Hartley) has put into place here," Burke said. "We work hard. And that's not just the games people see. There's a lifestyle he's implemented here. Practices are longer and harder than they are in most places. Weight room stuff, there's a lot of that here and some teams don't do as much. The video sessions, there's a lot of teaching going on. So, he's got buy-in from the players. We work hard and we have buy-in. Those are two critical steps if we're going to get better.
"You have no chance of getting better if your team doesn't work harder than its opponent and it doesn't stick to the game plan. Bob's got both of those things in here."
From the six-foot-seven, 224-pound Breen, Burke has clear expectations.
"Good first-pass, good decisions when you have time and space," Burke said. "And then, be physical. It's that simple from him. Then, we'll see. We're always looking to add, upgrade our skill and size at any position.
"So, we'll be seeing if we can upgrade our blueline or our forward group."
The 24-year-old has played five games with the Flames this season and spent some time sidelined with an abdominal wall strain injury. With Abbotsford, he's played 20 games and recorded three assists along with 11 penalty minutes and is a plus-4.
The Flames enjoyed a day off Sunday and hit the ice again Monday to prepare for Tuesday's visitors — the Chicago Blackhawks.
But there were some developments worth noting from Saturday's practice.
First of all, there was no Ladislav Smid who didn't skate Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. He also sat out Friday's game against Nashville.
"Maintenance," was Hartley's explanation.
Michael Cammalleri, still dealing with a concussion, also missed Saturday's practice (personal reasons) along with LW Jiri Hudler.

It's that time of the year where people of India pay homage to their leaders and those who fought for India's freedom. On the 66th Independence Day (67th if you count 15th August 1947 as the first Independence) of India, Google India is celebrating the occasion with a tri-colored doodle on its home page, in the form of a ribbon, which on mouse over will greet you with a message, "Indian Independence Day".
Google has been celebrating India's Independence Day with a doodle on its home page every year since 2003, where most of the doodles featured the Indian national flag. However, the 2011 and 2012 doodles were quite different as Google created the doodles by featuring the Indian national symbols in place of the Tricolour. Last year, we saw a beautifully designed colorful peacock with a large plume tail.
On this day, the Prime Minister of India hoists the Indian flag on the ramparts of the historical site Red Fort in Delhi.
Along with India, three other countries celebrate their Independence Day on August 15 – Bahrain, South Korea and Republic of the Congo.
Happy Birthday India.

Several Danish islands can be observed in this ASAR image. Visible on the large island of Zealand (Sjælland), near the center of the image, is the city of Copenhagen.
Appearing here as a white area, it is the capital and largest city of Denmark. It is located on the eastern shore of Zealand, partly on the island of Amager and on a number of natural and artificial islets between the two.
Copenhagen faces the Øresund to the east, the strait of water that separates Denmark from Sweden, and which connects the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. The Swedish towns of Malmö and Landskrona lie on the Swedish side of the sound directly across from Copenhagen.

Add potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt to a large pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes until they are fork tender, about 20 to 25 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. If cooking indoors, preheat a panini grill or iron pan to high heat. For outdoors, use the grill. Carefully slice each potato in half (they will be steaming hot!) and lay them on the cutting board cut-side up. Brush olive oil onto each potato and sprinkle each with salt and pepper. Place each potato cut-side down onto the panini grill/pan. Brush more olive oil onto the skin-sides of the potatoes, sprinkle on more salt and pepper and close the grill lid so that the grates touch the potatoes without compressing them. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes until the potatoes are crisped and golden grill marks appear. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Serves 4.

Here are the details: House size: ~5170 sqft. (I know this really doesn't matter, but thought you would like to know) Location: Mountain area just East of Albuquerque NM (Very similar to Santa Fe, NM) Elevation: 6890' Ground temp: 66-68° (according to all the charts that I have seen) Ground material: Limestone (we had a soils report done) Heat loss: 90,510 Btu/h Loop design will be vertical, we have 2 acres, but there is limestone just under the surface and trenching would be difficult. Some folks (I don't know who came up with these numbers exactly) believe we need the following: Bore holes: 9 Depth: 300' Pipe size: not listed What do you guys think? I know some of you have access to the computer software that can size these loops, would you care to run my numbers? I think that the size should be more like 8 bore holes at 250' each, and that may be over doing it still. Please help, over sizing this loop will put this system out of reach financially!!

What About the Women?
In honour of the unsung and unknown female ancestors in our family tree, take some time today, this week and this month to pick one and find out more about her.
How often do we give up on a female ancestor? We find their first name and it becomes difficult to find a surname or her parents so we shrug our shoulders and set her aside "for now". But do we ever get back to her and dig deeper?
Your female ancestors had every bit as much to do with who you are as your male ancestors so let's give those women a place.
Look over your pedigree chart. How many of your female ancestors have complete details of their birth or death? Choose one of them and set a goal to find at least one fact about her that you didn't previously know.
Women had hard lives. They often bore children a year apart. They toiled over woodstoves or open hearths to prepare meals for large families. They tended sick babies when there was little or no medical help or medications such as what we take for granted today. They buried many of their children but they carried on.
Let's honour them by not neglecting them in our genealogy research. They deserve to be known so let's find them!
In a 5-generation pedigree chart for my ancestry, I find three women for whom I have only partial information. They are
* Fanny McGinnis nee Downey born circa 1820-1830 somewhere in Ireland, died 1904 in Morriston Ontario. I have no idea who her parents were.
* Jane Peer nee Greenlees born circa 1819 somewhere in Ireland, died 1899 in Guelph Ontario. I know who her parents were
* Georgiana Fuller nee Golding born 1840 Lenham England. I know who her parents were
I've chosen Georgiana Fuller nee Golding. She was my great great grandmother. I know a little bit about Georgiana and she certainly intrigues me! Georgiana's baptism record is in St Marys Church in Lenham and it states that she was born to "the widow Golding". Her mother's name is given as Hannah Golding whose husband had been Edward. However Edward Golding died in 1837 in Lenham so unless the widow Hannah had the longest pregnancy in history, Edward Golding was not my Georgiana's father.
A lot of searching found nothing more except that the Widow Hannah had another child born in 1843 in Lenham. I do not know who his father was either.
Eventually I did find Georgiana's father because luckily her marriage certificate to Charles Fuller in 1858 provides his name - George Norris. However Georgiana used the Golding surname from her birth to her marriage.
It sounds like I know a lot about Georgiana! I know her parents - George Norris and the widow Hannah Golding. I have Georgiana's baptism and marriage record. I have the names of her ten children born between 1859 and 1880. Poor Georgiana was pregnant for most of those 20 years. It horrifies me to see how close together some of those pregnancies were! For example Georgiana bore her 5th child - my ancestor Charles in August 1867. In October 1868, a little over one year later, she gave birth to another son Alfred. She must have been exhausted.
I have her in various census records - 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881. In 1881 she is 41 years old and some time between that census and the 1891 census Georgiana died. Her husband Charles is listed in 1891 as a widower.
My goal during March is to find Georgiana's death and figure out what happened to her.

Best of luck to you in finding out what happened! Keep us up to date!

I am curious about Georgiana's father George Norris. What happened to him and why did Georgiana not use his surname?
Just wanted to share this idea with everyone. Last summer my dear friend ,a cross stitch fanatic, offered to 'make' me a Mother's Tree. I had never heard of a Mother's Tree but obviously jumped at the offer. She is still working on it, as I can trace my Mother's mother's mother's....etc back to the first born in America, Grace Cole b. 1607 Duxbury, Plymouth Mass.
Even if you don't have a wonderful friend to crosstitch you a Mother's Tree, it is an exciting way to honor your maternal line. Hope this inspires everyone.

FreeBMD shows the death of a Georgina FULLER, aged 44, in Hollingbourn Registration District, Kent in the 4th quarter of 1882. Despite the ages not quite matching up with what you say is shown on the 1881 Census, I wonder if that is her? Perhaps it would be worth sending off for the death certificate if it's in the right area.
Regards, Brett

I thought so once. I had created a simulation where creatures live in my artifisial enviorment as is they, move around, eat, reproduce, and die. Now, I used RAND() to detirmain the random locations of the food, creatures and sex of the creatures. And I noticed that most of the creatures where female. In my code 1 ment a male, and 0 meant a female. Also most of the creatures and food seemed to allways popup near the x-y coords of 0x0. (Near the top left.) So I threw together a program that checked the average. Here is my code:
Amazingly, the result is 496. So it does favor the lower number a tiny bit, but I expected more so than this.Code:#include <windows.h> #define MAX_TIMES 500000 int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpszArgument, int nFunsterStil) { char szText[MAX_PATH * 10]; strcpy(szText, "This program will run the RAND() function\nthrough a loop, then display the average."); MessageBox(NULL, szText, "Random Generator Tester", MB_ICONINFORMATION); int nRand[MAX_TIMES]; int nResualt; for(int i = 0; i < MAX_TIMES; i++){ nRand[i] = rand()%1000; nResualt += nRand[i]; } nResualt /= MAX_TIMES; wsprintf(szText, "After running RAND() five hundred thousand times at\nthe value of 1000, the average has been gauged at %d.", nResualt); MessageBox(NULL, szText, "Random Generator Tester", MB_ICONINFORMATION); return 0; }

The Bodrum peninsula
For anyone staying in Bodrum, it's worth making at least one day- or half-day trip across the peninsula it calls home. You might even consider basing yourself in one of its many relaxed villages, such as Gümüşlük or Akyarlar, rather than in hectic Bodrum. The peninsular population was largely Greek Orthodox before 1923 and villages often still have a vaguely Hellenic feel, with ruined churches, windmills and old stone houses. However, the area has become immensely popular with moneyed Turks of late, and whitewashed cube-buildings have proliferated – some now appealing boutique hotels, others eerily empty, where building projects have gone belly-up. Luxury hotels, on the other hand, are proliferating – every major world chain either has, or is about to have, a hotel open here.
The peninsula still exudes a unique charm. Its north side, greener and cooler, holds patches of pine forest; the south, studded with tall crags, is more arid, with a sandier coast. There are also plenty of serviceable beaches, with Bitez, Ortakent, Yalıkavak and Türkbükü, among others, currently holding Blue Flag status for cleanliness.
Note that most of the peninsula's hotels and restaurants only open from May to October. Travel at other times is certainly possible, though, and it's blissfully relaxing.

City council members in Austin are giving themselves some more time before voting on an MLS expansion team project. Yesterday, the vote on a proposed new soccer stadium that would become the new home of what is now the Columbus Crew was put off until next week. Some council members question whether there may be better use for the land on McKalla Place for the proposed stadium site. If the vote next week is positive, team owner Precourt Sports Ventures could opt to relocate the Crew to Texas in time for the start of the 2019 season. The city council will take up the matter again in a meeting set for next Wednesday, August 15th.

Estimated Best Efforts not working properly
Not all my estimated best efforts are being shown in my profile for the last few weeks, just my 10k and half marathon times ... where is the rest?
Not all my estimated best efforts are being shown in my profile for the last few weeks, just my 10k and half marathon times ... where is the rest?
I have the same problem, with only my half-marathon and marathon showing.
Yeah, or the avg. pace for estimated 10k being faster than 5k... How's that possible?
I have the same problem, 1k and 1 mile not showing since a couple of weeks.. (but 5k and 10k are still there)
I also have the same issue as mentioned above.
Same problem for me. Only the 1 mile shows up.
Have the same problem only Half and Marathon is showing .. :(
Same problem for me. 1k and 1 mile stopped showing 2 weeks ago. If I click on a friends profile, it shows their 1k and 1 mile, but mine are bland next to theirs. From 5k up mine show fine.
I also have this issue. Only 10k and half marathon are showing.
I submitted a request and Strava sorted this problem for me by resetting my "Estimated Best Efforts". This was done within 5 hours of me submitting the request. Impressive service for a user of the free version who has never paid Strava anything.
Many thanks for the advice Ken, will give that a try
Send the request to Strava help centr they will fix it in few hours :) Its work for me :)
My estimated best efforts are gone too. I couldn't make comparisons with my friends. How to fix this? :(
Same here, no 5k result.
Same here, just 10K, half and marathon showing.
The same for me, only 10k. A solution?
Same here
Hi There !
I just finish my first marathon and it didn't show up in my stats ! (I did it with a friend also on Strava and it worked for him).
Thank you in advance to correct it !
Hi, I have the same problem, I have no Estimated Best Efforts in my stats, they are all gone. How can I fix it?
I have the same problem as well. The list with Estimated Best Efforts is not updated anymore, and it only shows one of them.
8 months on and not fixed, that's a shame, it's one of the only features I like to use to allow me to compare my ability to my friends and others.
Please fix :)
I just ran my very first 10-Mile effort this weekend and was excited to have my "Best Estimated 15k" and "Best Estimated 10 Mile" show up on my profile...nothing. Very disappointing. Come on Strava, it's been pretty much all of 2016. Can we get some sort of update on this?
None of my estimated efforts show up and from the looks of this thread it seems that I'm not the only one. Hopefully there is a fix for this. Thanks.
Same here, I do not have any best estimated efforts.
Strava please fix this, this issue is (as I can see from this post) already reported 10 months ago.
Or a reaction on these posts would be nice to know if and when its going to be fixed
Same here, I do not have any best estimated efforts.
Same boat here. Estimated efforts not updating
From another topic I found that this issue can be solved by doing the following:
Go to strava support site
Submit a request
Choose category: Activity achievements, segments and run best efforts
How can I help you category choose: Missing run best efforts
Let Strava know you want these efforts back through the ticket and they will 'reset' this part of your profile so you get your best efforts back
Thanks, Frank! Ticket submitted :)
Same here,
I do not have any best estimated efforts :(
Come on guys, TS opened this issue on March 29, 2016 (!) and still this issue isn't fixed!? While this isn't a high-priority (security) bug and while the feature is only visible/available at the web-based version of Strava, imo the members who're actually using this feature as a reference and/or comparison tool, those members strive for more/improvement and should be cherished. Those dedicated members, non-paid OR premium/summit, are the backbone of Strava.
With 42 tech-people assigned to Strava's GitHub profile, there should be one... Fix it!
Keep up the good work!
Well said @Kay Beudeker.
I have noticed a pattern on my account that may be helpful to one of the 42 devs. Sometimes I post an invalid Estimated Best Effort by forgetting to stop an activity and then doing 5k in 2 minutes on the highway. Later, when I realise and crop the cheat section, my Estimated Best Effort for that distance does not re-calculate. It remains blank from then on, until I request an account reset.

Rob van Nes, International Business Development Head, One Million Hockey Legs (OMHL) visited Anantapur Sports Academy (ASA) to meet Program Director Moncho Ferrer and other hockey officials to oversee and strengthen their partnership with the ASA Hockey Program.
The One Million Hockey Legs project started back in 2015 with the likes of Floris Jan Bovelander and other Olympians on its executive board. It aims to reach one million young hockey players by 2018 Hockey World Cup to be held in Bhubaneswar, India and increase the participation of rural youth by providing them with necessary training. With this aim, they collaborated with ASA which has a long history of promoting hockey in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh. OMHL wants to leave its impression in the Indian hockey legacy and strengthen the relationship between India and Netherlands.
"India can be world champion any day. We need to start from every home as parents need to understand the importance of sports; sports and education can go hand in hand. The skills like team spirit, hard work, communication can be learnt from sports which goes a long way in life", says Rob van Nes.
Coach education is an important aspect of sport development, as to have a wider impact, the dissemination of knowledge of the game among the grassroots is essential. Many places in India lack infrastructural and up-to-date coach education at local and regional grassroots level which has decreased the number of children playing hockey. India with its 1.3 billion population has only 50,000 hockey players left whereas Netherlands, much smaller in population, has 2.5 lakh players.
"ASA has been promoting sports for many years and is providing good training cum residential facilities for talented athletes. I feel happy to be a part of this project and to help in the promotion of hockey in Anantapur. Wisse and Roderique, the trainers from OMHL who were in ASA in January 2017 for training were surprised to see the vigor and talent ASA hockey players possessed. Other OMHL partners in Jamshedpur, Delhi and Punjab are also doing quite well. Our aim is to spread the hockey culture in the grassroots and simultaneously provide high performance training to athletes who are doing well", says Rob van Nes.
Vijay Babu, Secretary of Hockey Anantapur said, "ASA plans to conduct a hockey festival/championship in partnership with One Million Hockey Legs with the objective of increasing the participation in rural Anantapur as well as providing with high performance training to boys and girls of the academy".
India were the first host nation to win the Hockey Junior World Cup 2016 and a little over a year from now, Odisha would host the 14th edition of the Men's Hockey World Cup. It would be interesting to see how Indian hockey team performs in the World Cup. OMHL's effort towards developing the sport at the grassroots will go a long way in helping to achieve results at the international level in the future

According to the announcement from Ancestry.com:
This database details those persons enumerated in the Slave Schedule of the 1850 United States Federal Census, the Seventh Census of the United States. Slaves were enumerated separately during the 1850 and 1860 censuses, though, unfortunately, most schedules do not provide personal names. In most cases, individuals were not named and only details such as age, sex, and color are recorded. However, some enumerators did list the given names of slaves, particularly those over one hundred years of age. These names are generally found in the "name of slave owners" column. The names of owners are recorded. Other questions asked about the slave include whether a fugitive from the state (meaning if the slave had fled and not returned); number manumitted (or freed); and whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic.
Sometimes the listings for large slaveholdings appear to take the form of family groupings, but in most cases slaves are listed from eldest to youngest with no apparent effort to portray family structure. In any event, the slave schedules themselves almost never provide conclusive evidence for the presence of a specific slave in the household or plantation of a particular slaveholder. At best, a census slave schedule can provide supporting evidence for a hypothesis derived from other sources.
The slave schedule is especially useful for researchers who are seeking information about their slaveholding ancestors. This is because of the specific information it provides about their holdings and other information you can draw from it. For example, the number of slaves enumerated under an owner could help you determine if he had a plantation or not, and if so, what size it was.
The slave schedule was used in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia.
The United States was the first country to call for a regularly held census. The Constitution required that a census of all "Persons…excluding Indians not taxed" be performed to determine the collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives. The first nine censuses from 1790 to 1870 were organized under the United States Federal Court system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal who hired other marshals to administer the census. Governors were responsible for enumeration in territories.
The official enumeration day of the 1850 census was 1 June 1850. All questions asked were supposed to refer to that date. By 1850, there were a total of thirty-one states in the Union, with Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, and California being the latest editions. There were no substantial state- or district-wide losses.

Quoting from MyHeritage website:
... recently at MyHeritage.com we've been scanning the web, evaluating content, and identifying some of the best genealogy sites on the internet right now. We put a focus on finding hidden gems in the community, so there's a good chance that some of these are sites you won't have seen before. It's a testament to the vibrancy of the online genealogy community that even this selection of 100 sites had to leave out a lot of quality content. Nevertheless, these are the 100 we came up with, presented in alphabetical order. We hope you enjoy reading them!
I encourage readers to drop by their website and check out the other 99 blogs on the list. I'm sure you'll find some you didn't know about.
